Tracking Axact’s websites

NEW YORK: Axact’s immensely profitable empire is centered on its network of hundreds of websites. The stars are the sites for fictitious high schools and universities - some have names and details evoking the appearance of American or British schools, others of Persian Gulf-region institutions.
Critical support for the scheme comes from a host of dedicated Internet search portals and a smaller list of dummy accreditation bodies meant to put potential customers at ease by giving Axact’s fake schools a more credible appearance.
Below is a partial list of sites analysed by The New York Times and determined most likely to be linked to Axact’s operation in Karachi, Pakistan. Some of the details came from interviews with former employees of Axact, who identified roughly 50 sites, along with servers used by the company and blocks of custom website coding it developed.
Starting from the list of employee-identified sites, The Times scoured the Internet for other sites that included similar technical details, servers, content and supporting links. More than 370 sites included at least some of those identifying components; the list below is of sites that correlated most closely with all of them.
